Toys and Games Reviews of Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Little Super Star Classical Stacker
Customer Review: Star "Car" Alternative
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this toy for my son when he was 6 mos at a garage sale. It was missing the yellow star on top (I didn't even know it was suppose to have that) but other than that was in great condition. So, it has held up well through a couple of babies so far. At first he simply enjoyed banging the stars together for a very loud effect. My now 11 mos old still hasn't gotten the hang of putting the stars back on the stick, but loves to pull them off and "drive" them around like cars in each hand. When he was younger he liked to hold the two smallest stars, but now he always goes for the largest two. He also enjoys pushing the little button on top which controls the music and lights. He pushes it and then shakes his shoulders back and forth, dancing with a giant smile on his face. When we returned home from a two week trip, this was the first toy he scampered toward, very excited to see it again!Customer Review: A classic plastic ADD toy
Summary: 1 Stars
I reluctantly bought this toy [...]. I should have known better -- it's Fisher-Price! A couple of problems:
1. It gives off a strong plasticky smell, even now, weeks after it was taken out of the box. It may be a "safe" kind of plastic (although after Fisher-Price's notorious 2007 recall I no longer trust them when they say their stuff is safe), but I still don't want my 9 month old mouthing it.
2. Any stacking purpose of this toy is completely overshadowed by all the lights and sounds. This thing lights up like a Christmas tree! No kid is going to want to stack it; they'll just want to stare at it.
This toy does not develop imagination or any kind of motor skills; this toy is designed for future TV viewers unable to concentrate on anything for longer than 5 minutes. If you want a classic stacking toy, buy one from Educo or similar.
Customer Review: One of my sons favorite toys!
Summary: 5 Stars
My son received this as a gift from Grandma for his first Christmas. He was three months at the time, so he didn't really play with it, but a little while passed and the stars became great teethers. He liked to throw them at me, too. lol He's now 13 months and he still loves this toy. He has excellent coordination and I know that this toy had a big part in that. He can stack the stars on very quickly, and loves to press the button over and over, I guess he really likes the songs it plays. It's not too loud and never really gets annoying. I would be willing to purchase another one, but there is no need..even after daily prolonged play (and I mean this thing has been thrown, dropped and used to beat on the floor) and it's still going strong. Not even the paint is showing wear. I really recommend this toy to all new parents..it's a must have.Customer Review: The best baby toy!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this toy! My daughter had it when she was a baby (a slightly different version) and when my son was born I got him a new one since my daughter's had been packed away and we couldn't find it. It was the one toy I was just insistent that he have. She loved it, and he loves it. And actually, she's 3 now but she still sort of likes it. She really enjoys playing it with him. I think it's great because for such a low price they can play with it in a variety of ways, either to hear the music or watch the lights, or each individual star to chew on or bang together, and then of course to stack them and so on. In my opinion this is a must have toy for babies, if you are going to buy a baby toy this would be it. My son is approaching one year old now and he still gets it out and plays with it. Highly recommend it!Customer Review: Durable, but wobbly and annoying
Summary: 3 Stars
This was given to us when our baby was 3 months old (he's now 20 mos old). It was really fun for the first few weeks, but after a while baby lost interest in it. It was hard for him to stack the rings on it because it wobbles around. The music also plays for a really long time, and the only way we could see to turn it off was to take a ring off or put one on the thing. Also, it reacts to vibrations, so if it is sitting on the floor and someone runs by it it will start going off! The batteries have taken a really long time to wear out (we've had it about 1 1/2 years without replacing them), but we wished they would've died sooner. It is really durable, though, as our baby has thrown it down the stairs on many occassions, and it has never sustained any noticeable damage.
